During an appearance this week on SI Media With Jimmy Traina, Charles Barkley brought up his disdain for sports media talking heads who make things personal while criticizing athletes. This led to Barkley’s referencing his famous falling out with Michael Jordan.
“I lost my best friend because I criticized him. Guys can always say about me, ‘Charles, you might not like him, but he’s gonna be fair,’ because of the situation with Michael. I always said, ‘Wait a minute, I criticize other general managers. Just because the guy is my best friend, if I have a double standard, that’s not fair.’”
Barkley was then asked whether he’s tired of talking about the end of his friendship with Jordan.
